Here is the Nets Roster http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/teams/stats?team=njn I really don't see anyone that I think is both obtainable and useful to the Rockets. Jeff McInnis might be OK, but he's been a problem child with every team. The only thing I might consider is giving them Swift and Howard (just to get rid of Howard) in exchange for Jason Collins, filler and draft picks. Collins is a decent defender, but this would be more about getting rid of Howard's contract (of course, if Collins has an equally bad contract, then I retract this suggestions).
With Portland rethrink Zach Randolph, I wonder about a Swift-Randolph trade. Of course, Randolph makes a lot more than Swift and he is a head case, but ZR would be a real monster next to Yao.
The Nets don't have anything that interest me outside of their big 3. Swift has improved his play as of late and hopefully it will continue. M. Jackson and Collins are terrible and aren't worth Swift even with picks.
I would too.....Kristic has serious game. He's gona be one of those late bloomer that becomes a star player. Ofcourse I know the salaries don't match, but throw in Antoine Wright and DEAL!
This is from the Hot Rumors part of foxsports.com http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/5170724 Nets target Swift New York Post (registration required) Post writer Fred Kerber says the Nets are trying to acquire Stromile Swift from Houston and have reportedly offered Marc Jackson and a first-round pick. The Rockets don't appear to be interested.
yeah which is like saying,they hung up the phone on NJ, and collectively went ROFTL at the Toyota Center for couple minutes.
Are you kidding. That goofy trade is right about the average trade we suggest here. Nets gm must read this board.
It's too quick to give up Swift especially he shows he can improve his game. Dont forget Swift miss all the preseason games. He is kind of slow to learn a new system. We should be more patient. For Marc Jackson, it doesnt make any sense. He is old,slow and has 2 years contract left. And next year draft dont have too many good players.
http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051215/SPORTS01/512150344/1108 But whether the Nets are willing to make a bigger deal depends on their patience level. There is a growing sentiment in the organization that Carter could be expendable if it can return an impact defensive player.
Jackson is not a good fit for Rox but Swift is a good fit for Nets. So I guess there will be 3-team deal.
Kristic is good, but i dont see any upgrade. Swift looks great, seems to be moving into the starting lineup. Kristic is 7 ft, dont know if we want 3 7 footers. 3 team deal is possible, but dont see how the rockets can profit.
Swift, Kmart, Jackson... this is silly. we finally started winning... our guys are finally starting to figure out how to play basketball together... let's give this current team some time... I mean they've won five out of their last six... trading with New Jersey would be trading just to be trading...
OK, here goes: Seattle gets: 2 1st round picks Krstic Mcinnis Wesley Houston: Rashard Lewis NJ: Stromile Swift NJ and Hou send their #1's to SEA.
good trade ...but trading our number one pick is not the way to go win need to bring in young talent.
